!twitter:tweet "Currently experiencing long request times; our engineering team is investigating"

The twitter bundle exposes a tweet command, which allows you to tweet from Cog, using multiple Twitter accounts. Put it in an incident response pipeline to tweet updates from your support account. Add it to a release pipeline to tweet when a new version of your software is available.

Using the --as option allows you to tweet from different Twitter accounts. For details on how to set this up, please consult the detailed documentation for the tweet command in `config.yaml'.

By default, execution of the twitter:tweet command will require the twitter:tweet permission. You can, of course, customize the rules as you like. One suggestion would be to incorporate the value of the --as option into your rules, allowing you to restrict execution based on the Twitter account the command will use. For example, the rule

when command is twitter:tweet with option[as] == "support" must have twitter:tweet and site:support

would make it so only support team members (assuming you've granted those people the site:support permission) could tweet from your support Twitter account.
